In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup Tillamook Original Cream Cheese Spread with bacon bits, black pepper, hazelnuts and chili flakes. Set aside.
Open up each date and stuff each with a little over a teaspoon of the mix and roll the date up so it looks intact.
Spread a layer of garlic jelly over each cracker and place the dates on top.
Top each off with a spoonful of Tillamook Original Cream Cheese Spread and chives.
